Chapter 347: High-Tier Immortality (3.5K+)
"Tao Bai Bai's perception range is extremely large, estimated to be over 5 kilometers. The decoy station has been destroyed."
"Tao Bai Bai's regeneration and immortality sources exclude vampire species, demon species, and other negative energy beings. Holy magic had no effect..."
"That's all, Millennium Bug, good luck..."
Pfft!
A sound like a watermelon being burst occurred. Millennium Bug's expression grew colder. He sat on a white clay bird, flying at a decent speed, but the two of them were too far apart, and it would take him dozens of seconds to arrive.
[Team Member YT10337043 (Cub) has died]
Millennium Bug immediately turned around and flew in the other direction.
After analyzing the information Wildfire sent back before his death, the members of [Blackwater] concluded that Tao Bai Bai must possess some powerful sensory ability. At the very least, Wildfire, who shot from three kilometers away, was immediately pinpointed.
Therefore, during this operation, [Cub], responsible for support, and [Ghost Wolf], responsible for mobility, placed a disguised item at the three-kilometer mark, while their true bodies were hidden further away.
But currently, it seems they were still found by Tao Bai Bai.
Ghost Wolf, enveloped in purple-black mist, also saw the message of Cub's death. His heart was cold, but he wasn't overly sad; he calmly pondered the intelligence the other party sent back before his death.
All Reincarnators within [Blackwater] shared a consensus: they would constantly transmit information about their opponents during battle, so that even if they died, the team would gain intelligence to analyze and target, allowing other members to avenge them.
Ghost Wolf stood on this desolate open space. The withered yellow weeds were tall, almost reaching his waist. Precisely because of this, he clearly saw an unusually strong wind blowing from afar.
"Tao Bai Bai seems to possess the ability to control wind."
"Ghost Wolf, you retreat first. Tao Bai Bai can't kill me."
Millennium Bug gave the order. Ghost Wolf had already seen his captain flying towards him in the air, his face and hands completely covered by purple-black mist.
Although he usually served as the team's logistics, this superpower was actually quite powerful, a rare space-teleportation type. Even if he didn't like that particular work, he had to admit he was very lucky to be able to hunt plot characters in that world and obtain the superpower he desired.
"Don't worry, Captain, I'll gather a bit more information for you then leave."
The purple-black mist generated from his body possessed the properties of a different dimension, capable of completely teleporting anything enveloped by the mist to a location stored in his memory.
This ability was both offensive and defensive, belonging to a type that, with continuous resource investment, would eventually become quite formidable.
With Ghost Wolf's current ability, he could teleport to coordinates within 100 kilometers. Millennium Bug's ability to appear silently near Tao Bai Bai's small building was because he had scouted the location beforehand and obtained the coordinates.
If it weren't for his own weak combat ability, today's operation should have involved him teleporting Tao Bai Bai to an ambush location for a surprise attack.
Buzz~
As if stepping out of the wind, the surrounding air violently swirled and gradually calmed. Tao Bai Bai appeared less than ten meters in front of Ghost Wolf. Ghost Wolf confirmed the information in his mind, and the mist immediately enveloped him completely.
"Captain, Tao Bai Bai's ability isn't wind control; it's wind transformation!"
"The rest is up to you."
The black mist was dense, and the space within began to rotate. The coordinates began to distort.
Ghost Wolf saw Tao Bai Bai just standing far away, quietly watching him. Was it because he saw through the origin of his ability and didn't want to risk being teleported?
Ghost Wolf felt his body begin to distort and relaxed slightly. Although this teleportation ability could nullify most attacks, it still had some weaknesses.
Before the teleportation was completely finished, there would be localized areas of his body that could not be covered by the black mist.
Suddenly, Ghost Wolf felt a terrifying aura erupt from Tao Bai Bai's body, like a hurricane passing through, sweeping over his body in an instant.
The world in his eyes seemed to turn black. The intense aura instantly made his Mental go blank.
This is... Haki of the Conqueror?!
The next moment, golden ripples mixed with purple-black Killing Intent Ripple enveloped a fist with bulging muscles, thrusting fiercely from outside the black mist.
Crack~ Pfft!
The shield on his body shattered in an instant, followed by a terrifying force piercing into his neck. The chill and intense pain instantly brought Ghost Wolf back to his senses.
He looked at Tao Bai Bai, whose left hand was completely submerged in his neck, his face instantly contorted. His trachea and throat had been crushed, and his neck was almost completely torn.
Am I going to die?
I'm going to die! At least, I'll take this hand with me!
Ghost Wolf roared, blood spurting from the black mist. The black mist instantly contracted, and space completely collapsed onto a void coordinate, completing the teleportation.
Boom!
The terrifying potential energy of the collapsing space collided with Bai Cangshu's left hand, erupting in an unimaginable shockwave.
Bai Cangshu was instantly thrown backward. Millennium Bug, flying rapidly from the sky, leaped from the clay bird. The bird instantly crashed into Bai Cangshu and exploded with a bang.
[Team Member GL14775421 (Ghost Wolf) has died]
Millennium Bug landed on the ground, his hands trembling slightly. He turned around and indeed saw Tao Bai Bai emerge from the explosion, his injuries healing rapidly.
His own Exploding Clay's power was enough to shatter the defenses on his body, but it couldn't kill him.
And... Millennium Bug looked at Tao Bai Bai's left hand. The other party's left hand was indeed special; even Ghost Wolf's teleportation ability couldn't sever it. That arm... was very dangerous.
Bai Cangshu looked at Millennium Bug, who remained calm and constantly analyzed his abilities. A light flashed in his hand, and two scarlet drop cards appeared, his smile becoming even more distorted.
"The reason they died is probably because they followed a weak captain."
Bai Cangshu found himself beginning to understand why many villains in stories liked to say a lot of "trash talk" before battles. He discovered that when he faced a beast disguised as a good person with rules and rationality, he also found it hard to resist... wanting to tear off the other party's chains little by little to see what kind of beast it truly was.
Millennium Bug froze, then looked at Bai Cangshu with the gaze of someone looking at a dead man.
His two smaller mouths opened again.
"Kneel!"
Compared to extreme curse words like [Die], curse words that interfere with actions, such as [Stop] or [Freeze], consumed much less and came with a lower price.
As Millennium Bug uttered the curse, his figure instantly vanished. He, of course, also knew high-speed movements like Body Flicker Technique. Millennium Bug spread his hands, and white clay, like an unformed colloid, spewed from the mouths on his palms.
Millennium Bug quickly circled Tao Bai Bai, preparing to completely cover Tao Bai Bai with a large amount of explosive clay, then explode it to kill the opponent.
Even if Tao Bai Bai exhibited characteristics of immortality, immortality is not absolutely invincible. Most forms of immortality require the consumption of something to achieve revival.
As long as one can kill enough times, low to mid-tier immortality can be broken!
He didn't believe Tao Bai Bai could compare to him in this regard.
Whoosh!
Purple Killing Intent Ripple flared like flames. Millennium Bug was struck in the face by the ripple, and the skin on his face felt as if it had been pierced by countless needles; it was the intense pain from widespread cell necrosis and nerve damage.
His pupils trembled as he realized that Tao Bai Bai hadn't knelt at all. He had only performed a stooping motion. Millennium Bug's eyes shifted, noticing the blood flowing from Tao Bai Bai's ears.
This guy... pierced his own eardrums the moment he activated [Curse]?!
Through this self-mutilation, he prevented himself from being affected by his [Curse]...
Millennium Bug's eyes shifted, seeing Tao Bai Bai's mouth widen into a grin. His left hand formed a blade, and a purple-black Killing Intent Ripple, like a fan, instantly struck his neck.
Pfft!
Blood shot into the sky, and the head tumbled a few times, finally coming to rest in Tao Bai Bai's hand.
Bai Cangshu held Millennium Bug's head, looking at his still-open eyes, his tone mocking.
"See, I told you you were weak..."
Then he suddenly turned, his right arm instantly becoming exceptionally thick. Using the momentum of his turn, he threw the head directly towards the distant, colorful sky, which was the Spirit World Infestation Zone.
Boom!
Because of the immense force of the throw, the head made a terrifying sound like a missile launch, tearing through the air with a white trailing stream, and directly disappeared from Bai Cangshu's sight.
[Ajin] is a very special bloodline ability, possessing abnormally high [Immortality]. Purely from the flesh-and-blood level of immortality, Ajin's survival ability is even higher than that of cell-level regeneration like [Majin Buu], and naturally far surpasses Muzan and Bai Cangshu's current flesh and tissue regeneration.
Ajin are special bloodlines that will revive no matter how their bodies are destroyed. In terms of survival ability alone, they are already close to the top-tier bloodlines.
However, this ability, which is close to true immortality, also has weaknesses. Ajin's revival is akin to a conceptual regeneration.
That is, an Ajin's body tissue is actually closer to a special information state. Normally, it is no different from ordinary human flesh and blood, but upon death, an Ajin's body information will be "read" again, and the body will be regenerated.
Each revival will center on the largest piece of body tissue, and this revival will first recover lost flesh and tissue from the body, completing the entire process from decomposition to reconstruction; if a part of the body is too far from the largest body tissue, the Ajin will regenerate a new corresponding tissue.
This special revival mechanism gave rise to a new problem: as Bai Cangshu did, throwing an Ajin's head into a sufficiently distant or even unreachable space. The Ajin cannot recover that part of the body tissue and will choose to regenerate it.
But if even the brain is replaced with a new one, the memories in the original brain naturally cannot be preserved. This method, from a certain perspective, can be said to kill an Ajin from a societal standpoint.
Looking at the headless corpse that was swaying and falling to the ground, a large amount of dark particles were condensing; a new head was forming.
Bai Cangshu was very curious, in this situation, would this Ajin, who had lost the Reincarnator's memories, still be judged as a Reincarnator?
Bai Cangshu's brow tingled. That feeling of being locked on by Killing Intent made him instantly realize there was another enemy.
The next moment, he suddenly extended his left hand.
Bang!
Bai Cangshu took two steps back. A long, narrow golden bullet landed from his left palm. Electricity flashed twice on his left hand, then disappeared.
The king's left arm is not just hard; it cannot be destroyed by various energies. It is truly an absolute defense.
He turned to look southeast. The person shooting was extremely far from him, even over 10 kilometers, exceeding the range of his current Mind Net.
Bang!
Another special bullet, electromagnetically accelerated, shot over, pushing Bai Cangshu back two more steps.
The person hiding in the distance seemed to be deliberately provoking Bai Cangshu, firing shot after shot continuously. Bai Cangshu retreated step by step. Of course, it could also be to prevent Bai Cangshu from trying to kill this Ajin.
"Tao Bai Bai, don't rush, I'm coming to kill you..."
The air vibrated, like rolling thunder, and an incomparably majestic voice carried through the air, infused with powerful internal energy.
Just hearing it made one's Mental feel affected.
Bai Cangshu looked at the Ajin, who was gradually completing its revival, and then at the golden bullet at his feet.
"Ha~ Another master?!"
Bang!
Bai Cangshu shot up from the ground, leaped into the sky, then used Moonwalk to jump forward. He saw a red-haired man on the dilapidated asphalt road slowly tearing off his upper body clothes. A large saber emanating intense coldness was held upside down in his hand.
Seeing Bai Cangshu approach from the sky using Moonwalk, Hong Chen also showed a fervent smile. He took a step forward, gripped the saber with both hands, and slashed down fiercely.
The next moment, Bai Cangshu felt the air thousands of meters in front of him instantly vacate. A giant saber light hundreds of meters long appeared above the opponent's head and descended in an instant.
